Strolling around or running to catch the train similarly requires us to move. However, the neuronal mechanisms in the brain that allow us to initiate and control these movements are different, a new ...
Neuroscientists have revealed the precise connections between sensory neurons inside the retina and the superior colliculus, a structure in the midbrain. Neuropixels probes are a relatively recent ...
Outcome-guided behavior requires knowledge about the identity of future rewards. Previous work across species has shown that the dopaminergic midbrain responds to violations in expected reward ...
Sometimes hundreds of thousands of potential therapeutics need to be tested in large-scale, fully automated experiments to identify a single effective drug. Most compounds do not work as desired, and ...
The pathophysiology of dopamine dysregulation in schizophrenia involves alterations at the ventral midbrain level. Given that inflammatory mediators such as cytokines influence the functional ...
A previously under-investigated midbrain region called the superior colliculus (SC) may play a vital role in the ability to pay attention, according to a new study by neuroscientists at the Indian ...
For talkative midshipman fish—sometimes called the "California singing fish"—the midbrain plays a robust role in initiating and patterning trains of sounds used in vocal communication. The midbrain in ...
ITHACA, N.Y. – For talkative midshipman fish – sometimes called the “California singing fish” – the midbrain plays a robust role in initiating and patterning of sounds used in vocal communication. The ...
A 68 year-old woman was admitted with complaints of nausea, vomiting and right sided weakness. Within four hours, she was quadriplegic and could not speak. However, she could look up on command. An ...
Researchers at Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence (currently in the process of being established) have revealed the precise connections between sensory ...
iPS cell technology is an ideal solution for highly time-consuming and cost-intensive therapeutics research. Induced pluripotent stem cells are produced in the laboratory from human skin cells.
A previously under-investigated midbrain region called the superior colliculus (SC) may play a vital role in the ability to pay attention, according to a new study by neuroscientists at the Indian ...
